your view is wrong. I'm telling you from experience that she can switch careers 10 thousand times as long as she has a legitimate reason to do so. I was refused 3 times before getting an approval. you can check my timeline. Please understand also that each application is treated on n merit not due to previous reasons. I have talked to people here who did not apply for anything related to what they study and they are here studying. You can decide to switch career because you feel the Job you doing now is worth improving through education. you can switch careers and then return to your previous career because you feel you have to return to your previous passion and build it again. we all have different reasons for career switch. Just present it in a way that reveals your true intention. The VO always use the word convenience because what you want is possible but he just doesn't believe it's your true intention. So convenience him and you will get it. Nigeria's education cant be compared to Canada education at the same time you can't present Nigeria's education as cabbage, you just say why you see the need to study in a developed nation where education is a top priority. Do your research and you will understand my view.

charlesoz19:
Not totally correct. The presentation on his SOP will determine if the VO agrees or not. I have a BSC and worked for 7 years and here I am in a diploma programme

idirect:
Good evening people. Please I need advice on how best to approach this situation. Attached is the note for my friend.
She has deferred her admission in December from January when there was no response on her visa decision. The school approved her request to defer but they informed her that the certificate program (one year) has been discontinued and they only offer it in diploma now (2 years). She accepted the offer and waited for her visa decision which was eventually not approved.
With this GCMS note, I want to ask if it's best we write a reconsideration letter and include a justification for why she needed the program or she should submit another visa application with the diploma offer or possibly apply to seek MSc admission in another school. I would appreciate your opinion on this matter, please.

Thanks, I have seen the answer somewhere

"A spouse of a PGWP holder can still apply for a SOWP provided that person was themselves not previously on a study permit"

dehiero:

Please I have a 3 YEARS DIPLOMA IN NURSING from a nursing school in Nigeria.

My people please any recommendations on any college that can consider me for admission in a nursing program. I want a college that is admission friendly that offers nursing programs either for PGC or College Diploma level.

Please help

MatrixReloaded:
If he deferred the school will issue a new LOA with the new date. It's the timing of the study permit which he must comply with. If it expires prior to his arrival at the CBSA, they may turn him back due to expired permit.

This is to help you calculate your expenses or to give you a clearer picture of the reality on ground.
1. Rent 865/month (Wi-Fi,heating,hot water)
2. Transport student pass 58/month
3. Phone bill 40/month.
4. Groceries is in the range of 300-500/month. (NB you can go on steady fasting and use $20/month lol)
5. Tuition $8,000 every semester I.e every 4months.
6. Health insurance $1400 every year.
7. Haircut $32/month
8. Miscellaneous = $100-$200 /month.

Tuition is by far my biggest expense, followed by rent then groceries.
As per income I earn roughly $2000 per month.
I hope this helps prepare you for the journey ahead.
City is Montreal

Ikaburuku:
Good morning nairalanders. I will be 31 next month, if my father wants to sponsor my masters program in Canada, will I be accepted? I work but I earn less than 90k.
And will the school fees be paid in US or Canadian dollar? Thanks

Ebdumi:
Good morning house, please must it be pay slip ? Can’t I use statement of account to show I have been working? and how many months is required.

Wsx2:
Stop doing permutations, i currently live here and telling you the situation of things. The Draws they are doing nowadays are selective, not everyone is doing healthcare or tech, not everyone can write or speak French, not everyone can afford 30k cad to buy LMIa to boost express entry score . My messages goes to those people. It’s really hard here now. Do not go by what people who don’t live here says or using google to do research, listen to those who live here. 70 percent of these students falls in these categories, now what is their hope of staying back after spending over 60k cad to study here. The Canadian government stopped canada experience class draw since 2021 which was what the students relied on to get PR.

Wsx2:
Guys, this is an advice for those still considering coming to canada to study and have plans to stay in Canada after studying. Please consider your plans before making the move because it doesn’t worth it anymore.

If your plans is to come and study and go back home then no worries. Over 32,000 PGWP are expiring in March 2024. Canada government has told them to go back home . No more extension. Some of them are in the express pool with scores ranging from 460 to 490. The Canadian government has purposely increased the score so that most of them wont be able to get the ITA.

It is clear now that the government only want to make money off the students and send them back home. Also the country is very tough now and difficult to survive, cheap labour everywhere and the cost of living is way too high compared to other countries. Most Indians are now going to the US for their studies. Statistics shows that Indians which are the major students coming to canada , their applications to canada has dropped by over 50% percent in the past few months because the government has made it difficult for people to get PR after studies.


If you have the money and ready to invest in just education then you can come. If your plan is to stay back, it is better to consider other countries that can give documentation easier without having to waste huge resources.

askarachi:
Do you think 20 hours a week is enough?

askarachi:
UPDATE!!!!!

Starting January 1, 2024, the cost-of-living financial requirement for study permit applicants will be raised to ensure that international students are better prepared for life in Canada. This threshold will be adjusted each year, similarly to other immigration programs. Learn more: canada.ca/en/immigration…

For 2024, a single applicant will need to show they have $20,635 in addition to their first year of tuition and travel costs. This change will apply to new study permit applications received on or after January 1, 2024.

In addition, Minister Miller has provided an update on three temporary policies that were set to expire at the end of 2023, including the following:

· International students already in Canada, as well as applicants who have already submitted an application for a study permit as of December 7, 2023, will be able to work off-campus for more than 20 hours per week until April 30, 2024.

· The measure that has allowed international students to count time spent studying online towards the length of a future post-graduation work permit, as long as it constitutes less than 50% of the program of study, will continue to be in place for students who begin a study program before September 1, 2024.

· A temporary policy was introduced on three occasions to provide an additional 18-month work permit to post-graduation work permit holders as their initial work permit was expiring. Foreign nationals with a post-graduation work permit expiring up to December 31, 2023, remain eligible to apply. However, this temporary policy will not be extended further.

Please gurus I want to ask if we can launch a visa reapplication process while my appeal process is still pending?

Phemmyadot:
Good morning Everyone,

My parents (US Citizens) plan to sponsor my Sister, her Husband, and her Daughter to Canada for her MSc. She already has an admission and we're currently discussing proof of funds.
What is the required POF and can they use their US bank accounts and paychecks as POF, since they are the sponsors?
Do my sister or her husband also need to have POF in their own Bank Accounts?
Thanks

jscoder:
I provided my personal statement (dom account).
Yes, I am the main sponsor.
I provided my employment letters, though the account I used is not my salary account. I also used the same account to apply for my wife.

Wonder1844:
Good day everyone,
Please I want to know if a single sponsorship is better than the applicant coming as a co-sponsor in showing POF.
Thanks

What could have been the problem

Frankrobbn1:
Your hubby can apply for his visa from his home country. Even if you can apply from there, his application will be taken back to the visa office that are in charge of processing applications from his country of residence . So, its best he applies from his end .
It will end in praise

Rapujoshua:

APPLICATION REFUSED!!! September 12th applicant

Reason: only based on financial situation

Sponsor: Uncle and myself as co-sponsor

Uncle Paid full tuition of $18,789 cad. ( note my program is one year PGC)

I have $6,000 usd in my Dom saving acc.

I also submitted my Naira account with about 18 million. ( though I have 8 million lump sum which I explained in my sop was sent by my uncle (sponsor) for living expenses. I even included evidence of transaction.

My sponsor submitted his company bank statement with closing balance of around 13 million , inflow 400 million and outflow out flow about 397 million

Now with all dis, how on earth was I refused based on financial status. Could it be the officer that handled my application was having a bad day or could it be the officer made mistake. I have seen people on this trend get refused, and they reapplied with same exact document and get approved.

My program is for January, I am thinking of reapplying, please any idea of what can be done different this time around.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Rapujoshua:
It is self sponsored
He showed documents of sales of properties, salary account. I do not think it is a financial issue.

Hello Everyone.

Please, I need your help with this.

I'm currently in school in Canada and my husband who is in Nigeria wants to apply for spousal work permit. I was wondering if I have to apply for him or he should apply by himself. I need to extend my study permit next month, can we apply together?
